Oxygen Cylinder supply/refill in Lanzarote

12 years ago•4 Replies

would really appreciate some info if anyone has any on having oxygen cylinders provided in Lanzarote. My parents are planning to travel there but have not been able to locate a provider for mams oxygen. She uses O2 at 4l/min and has a POC at home but doesn't find the POC would be suitable for her needs

Thanks for your help. Our current supplier said they have no contacts in Lanzarote unfortunately. Sammi23 is this a company or a person? Also was that liquid or gas O2?

Thanks again

Morning sbp5390,

If you contact the British Consulate in Spain, they should be able to put you in contact with companies who can provide oxygen for your Mum's stay in Lanzarote. Providing Mum has a current EHIC, she can access state provided healthcare at a reduced cost or even free.
